So what do you prefer? Hands or Wand gestures or maybe use both?

Try Both

I'm more used to the wand version, so with my HP characters I'll probably just stick with that, but both look like fun!

The less powerful Spellcasters will use wands to "help" with their power, while the more powerful ones will be able to just shoot magic out of their fingertips.

Technically speaking this is only for roleplay the wand or hand choice is themathic. It'll probably be an action you can do via clicking on your sim

Rotate between them

It's hard to choose because on the one hand, I'm a huge HP nerd and wands are so cool but on the other hand, watching reruns of Sabrina the Teenage Witch growing up has me wanting to do wandless magic too. I guess I'll rotate or change depending on which Sim I'm playing.

I know Charmed isn't only series to use hand magic but was first thing to come to mind.

Hand ala Charmed

I will more than likely have my main sim use just her hands, but I'm sure I'll try out the wands with other witches in her family tree.

Hand ala Charmed

Hands for now, wands won't suit my current story, but will surely have a save for them later down the track

Mortimer will use a wand, Bella and Cassandra will use hands. Keala and Lia will use hands. Ulrike... haven't even decided her path, let alone method!

For the non-premades, my large collection of HP Sims will be using wands (naturally!). My main and my plant witch will use hands, and my teen witch will start with a wand then move to hand.

XxAirixX · September 2019

Try Both

I want to try both; but technically not all my sims are meant to be witches but have different abilities, so they would use their hands while others will use their wands.

BlkBarbiegal · September 2019

It all depends on my sims. I feel that some will use wands and others just their hands. Such as, Vlad won’t turn into a bat to get where he needs to go. He’s beyond that. I prefer him to turn into mist. Caleb runs fast or turns into a bat.

I want to try both, but I will make my sim mostly use her hand. Wand is a bit too cliche for me.

Kamio · September 2019

Hand ala Charmed

I said hands because it is what I prefer feels more primal and connected. But I’ll use both based on the sim. Just means (in my game) they aren’t as connected or need tools ...the magic isn’t as accessible without it.

Rotate between them

depends on the spellcaster. I feel like the more chaotic magic is best done by hands and the more practical/dueling magic is done by wands

MasonGamer · September 2019

Rotate between them

Mostly Hand Magic by Once Upon a Time, I'd prefer to do magic more by hand. When I wrote my story I always envisioned my Characters doing magic by hand or subtle eye Glow to cast a spell.
Basically all the styles of Regina/The Evil Queen, Rumplestiltskin, Cora and Zelena and how they handle Magic.
I really hope conjuring a fire ball is animated the similar to how they do it.

My characters do own wands, but I believe wands are tools at best, and should only be used for emergencies and Grand Spell casting. Powerful spells that would take 100% of your sim's energy to cast, that if they were to cast it by hand it they would pass out from exhaustion or it could kill them. Spells Like Weather spells, Summoning a heavy Thunder Storm, meteors. Moving the Heavens, Blocking out the sun. Creating Portals to other lands, Time Travel. Cases like those would be times I would use a wand. Or events like, Anarchy has taken over, and people are openly hunting Supernaturals and My Sorcerer and Werewolf have to fend for themselves, The Purge is happening, then we break out the wands.

So since none of that is possible I won't be using wands as much.
I'll probably just collect and Put the wands on display somewhere but not use them unless Wands have different power boosts.

Hermitgirl · September 2019

Hand ala Charmed

I've never watched Charmed... but I'm not really into wand wielding witches or even wizards in other stories, movies, tv shows, history or books so I doubt I'll use them beyond just seeing what it looks like.

Staff. Always staff.

Atreya33 · September 2019

I think I will try a wand first, but I will definitely use both. Too bad we can't have a staff. I really liked that about the wizards in sims medieval. But I am happy that we choose between 2 options in sims 4.

revgrv · September 2019

Both but only because it'd be dumb not to use the variety on offer, I vastly prefer hands. Wands are only gonna be for sims I think would require a magical 'crutch' (I know that isn't how they work mechanically though) or who prefer magic to be a more formulaic, structured, rigid experience.

Magdaleena · September 2019

Both, of course. It will depend on the sim.

Devastated we can't have a staff

Gandalf is one of my favs too

annaliese39 · September 2019

Hand ala Charmed

I will probably try both and it will depend on the sim, but I think I prefer wandless magic. It's what I'm more familiar with and just feels right to me. I do wish we had staffs too though.

Babykittyjade · September 2019

Hand ala Charmed

I will definitely be downloading custom content if someone comes up with a staff. I can't get with the wand.

SERVERFRA · September 2019

Regina used her hands & Zelena mostly used a wand. Also, the Blue Fairy used a wand.

elanorbreton · September 2019

Try Both

I would have said wand, but since I just re-watched stranger things I think hand looks pretty cool too.

SimmyFroggy · September 2019

Try Both

I'll honestly want to know how both of them look and work and what fits better with my Sims. I'm guessing they'll all end up with different ways, in the end.
